On Sunday I preached for our sister church, Christ Presbyterian Church, Fairfield as part of their sermon series on the parables of Luke.
I preached on Luke 3 as an overview of the book, looking at what Luke
is saying about Jesus: In this passage the Father identifies Jesus as
the Son of God, the ideal Adam, the ideal Israel. Jesus then goes into
the wilderness to prove his faithfulness where Adam failed, and where
Israel failed, showing his victory against Satan over fear, in identity,
and in trust. Because Jesus shows His victory over the fundamental
human struggles of faith in Israel’s history, He offers victory over
those same struggles in our lives.
